non host based printer needed for remote desktop printing

It sounds like you want a networking printer.  There are many sold at Futureshop of varying types, quality, and prices.  Please join the forums and tell us what you need it to do and your price range so we can properly recommend one for you!

Another option that is available, if you already have a printer that you would like to make into a networked printer or cannot find a networked printer that meets you needs, is to purchase a network adapter that has USB host mode.

 This USB NAS dongle for example will allow you to plug both a standard USB printer and a standard USB storage device into your network so that they do not need to be connected to a host computer.

 They are quite easy to configure and in my experience are pretty solid.

 I hope this helps.
